First, I want to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who participated in this giveaway. I really have such a blast doing these giveaways as it gives me an opportunity to meet a bunch of new people and interact with the “old” ones. I really feel so blessed to have a ton of great people who love and support Evy’s Tree. You all are the absolute best!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being such great fans!

And my family thanks you too…because of you buying Evy’s Tree, I am able to work from home and be the best mommy and wife that I can be while still bringing in some income and not miss moments like this one that happened this morning….

I love my babies. And I love that they love each other. Most of the time that is. ha.

Anyway…so onto the winner…

Congrats Teisa! Can you send me all your info and which hoodie you would like to win to evystree@gmail.com? You have 48 hours to contact me and then I will have to pick another winner. Thank you for playing!

And in case some of you are wondering how I came up with this number, it’s no easy feat, I promise you. Since I was only giving one item away this time instead of two, I needed to count the blog plus facebook, so 718 is the total of both those places. The rules stated to only leave a comment on this blog to enter if you BLOGGED the giveaway, not if you facebook’d it or just left a general comment. I realize those rules might not have been that clear since I was a bit brain dead when I wrote them….so I tried to delete the comments that were just general comments, thinking it would take them out of the numbers, BUT it didn’t. ha. So I’m so sorry, some of the comments got deleted and it didn’t help me any, so please don’t be offended if your comment was deleted, I was just trying to make it all work, but in the end all the comments got counted. ha. oh boy.

Anyway, I count all the comments and facebook and the blog and then go back and find the appropriate number. NOT easy, but do-able.

Hope that all makes sense? If not, please feel free to comment and ask a question and I”ll see if I can answer it. I’m hoping to do more giveaways like this in the future, so if you have a question, please don’t be shy, chances are someone else is wondering the same thing!

Moving onto the Grace Wrap. I am getting a lot of questions regarding this item. Here is the description about it in the listing and a couple new pictures, since my old ones weren’t very clear:

“Introducing The Grace, a wrap style jacket made out of an American Apparel 100% cotton sweatshirt material unisex black hoodie with black ruffles along the entire edge of jacket, finished with rayon grosgrain ribbon interfacing and a 2 1/4″ polyester grosgrain belt.

*please be advised: this is a refashioned item made from a new American Apparel unisex hoodie. The pockets and cuffs have been removed, the sleeves cut shorter, as well as the hood and zipper cut out. The edges are left frayed at the sleeves and on top of the ruffles to give a fun and funky look, as seen the pictures. Also, upon deep inspection of the pocket area, you may be able to tell slightly where the pockets have been. All Grace wraps are unique for this reason and have been well inspected. The beauty of this item is its uniqueness. It really is a fun and stunning item, I wear mine at least once a week, both casual and dressed up with heels.

Washing instructions: I suggest you machine wash on cold in a large lingerie bag to protect the belt and hang dry.”

In addition to the above, the graces all have an inside tie that is easily removable by cutting out if you do not like it.

The Grace can be worn open {if you remove the inside ties}

The edges are left raw

And it can be worn without the brooch {you can buy it without the brooch HERE}

And lastly…I’ve had a lot of various questions, so here are some of the answers:

What is a size run? A size run is one hoodie per size that I offer. {1}S, {1} Med, {1} L, {1} XL, {1} Unisex L, {1} Unisex XL. When I say I am offering one size run, it means I will only be offering one of the above sizes. Once the size you want is bought, it is gone.

How do the hoodies run? American Apparel {where I purchase my hoodies} typically runs a size small. My adult sizes for most of the hoodies are similar to this:

The only items that do not follow that size chart are the Grace Wraps, the Brilla Cut Offs and the Ruffle Cardigans. Those are made out of unisex {mens} items and run BIG. Please follow the size chart in those listings.

As far as kids are concerned, they run a little small as well, I suggest ordering a size up. Also almost ALL the hoodies are 100% cotton, which means if you wash it on hot and put it in the dryer, they will shrink and entire size. Because of this, I recommend that parents purchase their kids hoodie one size up, since if you are like me, almost all my kids stuff end up in the dryer somehow. ha.

When will I be able to list more Grey Ruffle Cardigans? Today!! I will be listing a size run of the follow cardigan today:

My seamstress who makes this is working as fast as she can to get me several size runs, but please understand, we are a small little company and all my seamstresses are moms who work around their kids. The seamstress who makes this cardigan also makes a couple more items that have been VERY popular so she is SLAMMED. She is a trooper though and told me I could list another size run today, and those will ship out next Thursday with the first size run I listed two weeks ago. Pretty cool of her, yes?

Where can I buy your items? I sell on etsy only right now, and an occasional trunk show here and there. I am located in Central California, and if you live near me, you are always welcome to contact me and see if you can meet up with me and try some on. Otherwise, etsy is your best bet. My graphic designer is working on getting me a website up and running by the end of the year, so hopefully soon you won’t have to worry about having an etsy account, but for now, you will need one, I”m sorry.

Also, when I list things, the popular ones tend to go very quickly. I would suggest you log on to my etsy site right at the time I say I will list and keep refreshing until the item you want appears. YOU MUST PAY FOR IT BEFORE IT IS YOURS. Up until that point, it is still up for grabs.

When will you list the items in yesterday’s blog post? Today! Between 2:30 and 3:00 PM PST. Please be patient with me as I will be handling kids and listings as the same time.

Alright everyone! Hope that helps! Please feel free to comment if you have a question….

oh…just because you made it to the end of this ungodly long post… the first 5 people who comment below will be sent a beautiful Mrs Darcy brooch from my stash. I will choose, so it will be a surprise package. If you comment, please leave your email so I can contact you for your address!

I just found your blog and shop tonight and oh my goodness…I love all of your clothing! I am eyeing the ruffled gray hoodie. I am a sucker for anything with ruffles and it looks fun and comfy. Glad to have found you and I have become a follower.

That is the suitable weblog for anyone who needs to seek out out about this topic. You understand so much its nearly exhausting to argue with you (not that I truly would wantaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just great!

Woah! I’m actually digging the template/theme of this site. It really is basic, but efficient. A great deal of occasions it really is difficult to get that “perfect balance” among superb usability and visual look. I ought to say you might have done a great job with this. In addition, the weblog loads super quick for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
